Plane Crash Victims Buried in Pennsylvania

The unidentified remains of seven passengers killed in the crash of a USAir jet on Sept. 8 were buried on Saturday at a mountaintop cemetery here, just a few miles from where they died.

About 600 people attended the memorial service at the cemetery, which has three stone monuments to the 132 people killed in the crash of Flight 427 near Pittsburgh International Airport.

Mourners were invited to place mementos of their loved ones in a box to be buried at Sewickley Cemetery, said the Rev. Ronald P. Lengwin of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. Many placed letters in the box. A small boy put in a toy car.

Forensic investigators were able to identify the remains of 125 people. The remains of the others were buried in about 40 coffins. The names of the dead were engraved on the stone monuments.
